When you think of

Melee

Combat, you more than likely will consider a sword. There is much more to it. Not only is there a range of weapons; mace, axe, bo staff, scythe, lance... but there is also the consideration of shields, armour and what to do if you have no weapon on hand. What then?

By attending these lessons you will not only learn how to fight, but also how to defend against an attack... and, when it's time to retreat. You better come prepared. At the end of the course you will earn the chance to certify as a Master in Melee Combat.

According the Damage Calculator, here is a list of all the

Melee

Weapons and whether they are one handed or two handed.
